Hi, I’m Katie!

Public health communicator. Strategist. Problem-solver. And a big believer that good communication can make a real difference.

I’m the founder of Katie Clark Consulting, where I help nonprofits and health & human service organizations make complex information easier to understand, connect with the people they serve, and turn ideas into action.

I’ve spent more than 15 years working in public health, marketing, outreach, education, and communications. Along the way, I’ve learned that having a great program or important information isn’t enough. People need to understand it, see themselves in it, and know what to do next.

That’s where I come in.

I bring together public health knowledge, health literacy, strategic communication, and a practical understanding of what it takes to get things done. Whether you’re developing a health education program, creating resources for your community, refining your messaging, or figuring out how to better reach your audience, I help turn complicated ideas into clear, useful strategies.

My approach is collaborative and practical. I take the time to understand your goals, your audience, and the challenges you’re facing—and then help you develop a clear path forward.

Because communication should make your work easier, not more complicated.

Professional Experiences

I hold a Master of Public Health and a Bachelor of Science in Community Health, and my career has taken me through a variety of roles across public health, marketing, outreach, education, and program development.

Before starting Katie Clark Consulting, I held leadership roles in government marketing and outreach and special events, where I developed and managed initiatives designed to increase awareness, engagement, and participation.

I’ve also worked as an adjunct professor, teaching public health courses and helping prepare the next generation of public health professionals.

Today, through Katie Clark Consulting, I bring all of those experiences together to help organizations communicate more effectively and better serve their communities.

Beyond the work

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me juggling life with my three kids and my dog Fred.

A few things that make me, well… me:

  • I was born and raised in New York and will always be a New Yorker at heart.

  • I moved my family to North Carolina in 2021 and have loved making Raleigh our home.

  • I’m a ’90s culture enthusiast. Give me ’90s music, movies, or nostalgia and I’m in.

  • I love dogs. Fred, our black Lab, is basically my fourth child.

  • I genuinely love the work I do. Public health sits at the intersection of so many things I care about—people, communication, education, equity, and making information more useful and accessible.
